This world is indeed Fouled up beyond any recognition.

So in South (?) Sweden, are we talking the sexy kind of femdom or the stupid kind of femdom?
(Ah, why do I even ask. It's without doubt the worst possible kind of femdom.)

Of course it's the worst sort.

I love how the 4 power blocks are distributed in the legend according to where they are on the political spectrum. Very nice touch.

Yeah, that was intentional on my part. Thanks for noticing!Β

The Three Different Genders things sounds familiar. But I'm not sure why.

It was an aspect of Thai culture, IIRC.Β

I love how some of these factions, implied to be poisonous, are exactly what they are now.
I pick the Naturalist Republic of Cornwall purely out of a desire to don deer antlers and run buck nakedΒ (pun intended) at a bunch of English royalists with a broadsword and a swarm of bees. Plus I'm not sure what happened to France here (my guess is that it's either a part of the Global People's Republic or a generic part of the UoAN or ESO) but I like France, so with the channel being right there, me and my robotic killer bees can make a few visits before I'm beheaded.

Heh, I hope you like living standards comparable to a medieval peasant.

Huzzah for feces in the street!Β Β
And I'll accept a gun strapped to my back. I'm still opting for running naked with a broadsword with deer parts on my head. The Spirits told me to do it.

That's a good point. But this one is a real hum-dinger.Β

That Ireland sounds like something I'd try to found after a weekend of bingeing...
Where the Scots at?

If I'd have to choose, I'd want to live in Peru, Switzerland or Somalia and the idea that Somaila of all places isn't that bad shows just how well you do the dystopian world idea.Β

Somalia is basically a cyberpunk dystopia in the urban areas, and business as usual everywhere else.Β

(Sacred cow-themed) doesn't seem like such a bad place, but (opposite ideology-themed) seems like a nightmare to live in.
Also, hurray for enforced moderation! But not too much, because that would be slipping into extremism

You can never have too much moderation.Β

The UAN seems like the most likely ok-ish place.
Out of that, the Republic of Canada (you must admit, being drugged might be ok), the Republic of Thailand (true, they're probably bad otherwise), and the New American Republic (I could probably kinda deal with it...)

Thanks for pointing out this flaw. I'll have to give them more atrocities in the writeup.Β

I will in the text once I post the final map.Β

That's what I forgot, a hedonistic dystopia! Thanks for reminding me!Β
π: 0 β©: 1
You actually figured out that's what I meant ?
π: 0 β©: 0
Of course! A utopian dystopia! That was what was missing. Based Switzerland, no oppression needed when you'll oppress yourself out of ennui.

A world so dystopian even the utopias are dystopias.

I can't see any analog of Russia there. Does it not exist?

It's the core member of the Eurasian Union.Β

The setting was written before 2014, do I get it right?
π: 0 β©: 1
The very basics (a world where every ideology has a dystopian bloc associated with it) was conceptualized in late 2013, but the details were set in stone in late 2014. Here's a brainstorming session I had:Β Pick Your Poison Brainstorming

"Eurasia" is a name commonly used for Russian-initiated federations (mostly post-Soviet), so I'm 99% certain that they are "Russia".

I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know!

Judging from the countries and blocks, this seems like a pleasant place to live...ish...

It's a geopolitical equivalent to a bad buffet or modern television. You have plenty of choices, but you're not going to like any of them.Β

Can't wait to see what the map looks like then.
